Question

I’m reading data from a webservice that returns html friendly ascii codes instead of text. I’m trying to convert it into a string again for a WinRT app but I can’t seem to find the right decoder.

For example:

' should equal an apostrophe.

I’ve already tried htmldecode and urldecode, but they’re not what I need. Also, I don’t know what I’ll be getting back so I don’t want to hardcode any characters.

Thanks for any help!

Reference System.Web and use :

 HttpUtility.HtmlDecode("htmlcode");
